I want to share with you some ideas for the AI opponents:

In addition to the difficulties of the opponents, you could use subcategories of the opponents (something similar to Perfect Dark simulants), the categories could be:

1. The PreyAI will only attack players who have few territories or units. They will hunt weaker players and ignore stronger players.

2. The JudgeAI will do the opposite to what the PreySim does, it will attack the winning player. This AI will stop at nothing to take the lead for itself, but if it is in the lead, it'll attack anyone to stay that way.

3. A VengeAI will always attack the last player who attacked him.

4. A KazeAI will ruthlessly hunt down a chosen target and will stop at nothing until the target is defeated. It will aggressively attack you.

5. The FeudAI will pick a target at the start of the game and will ruthlessly attack them for the rest of the game, even if they're taken down a few times. They will also attack on other players, they will just mainly concentrate on one.

What do you think about this?

This would help with variety in the games where AI is included. The AI atm just seems to cause a loop in the game of fighting between players and itself while usually going out its way to target and take out one player ( even without alliances enabled ) - having a 'Random AI' would be good also. either randomly chooses 1 given personalities or plays in a more unpredictable fashion. The issue I have with vengeful AI is that no player will attack them knowing full well it will 100% result in them fighting back and from a strategic standpoint doesn't work. This idea should be implemented. You could add Turtle AI that mainly just sits on its boarders constantly building troops

Even just with the AI types that already exist I would love to be able to choose which ones to use. I only play against AI and often quit a game because it includes the single purpose AI that places all it's armies on one territory and rampages over the map. If it hits you, you lose, if it hit's the two strongest AI players, you win.

Combine choosing AI type for each player with more AI types and the AI portion of the game would be soooo much better.

Then there is improving the play of the AI so they're not quite so stupid. I guess building a good RISK computer player is tough seeing as how no one has ever done it.
